Rough estimates indicate that point suspension of your driver's license can average anywhere between $3,000+ and $11,000+.
-BARSIC- [3]
Point suspension occurs when one receives too many points against driving record within a given period of time, therefore one will end up loosing his/her driving licence through an accumulation of excess points. This happens such that each time one is convicted of a driving violation the court notifies the DMV (division of motor vehicles) electronically thus keeping truck on the number of times one has made such violations. Therefore, it is true that rough estimates that point suspension of the driver's license can average between $3,000+ to $11,000+.
